Thread: 2019 TDL 2019 offse
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>His "struggles" aka laziness is why he won't be resigned.

My guess is they try to trade dubinski one way or another. It's very hard to win carrying around dead cap space. They would be carrying 4.5 million in dead cap. That's a good winger.
They need to clear that off the books. They need to find a rebuilding team and dump him there for a pick.</div></div>

He has greatly improved and isnt lazy at all. The dude is on pace for 20 goals and will probably be resigned 1-3 years under 3m AAV. Also, what are you implying by the 4.5M in dead cap? Are you talking about Dubinsky or duclair? Surely you arent talking about Duke, because hes been one one of our better forwards this year, scratching asides. If you're talking about Dubi, hes owed 5.85 but I agree hes going to be traded or bought out.

I dont get the Duke hate. Hes performed like a good top 6 winger this season, hes just unlucky to be with Torts who punished players who arent the best defensively(and even then he isnt even our worst forward defensively) but hes still worth 20G this season. Keep him on a second line with consistant linemates he would surely hit 25-30 goals over a whole season. If they re sign him to, say, 2X1.8M AAV, and he kept up the way he's playing now, he would be one of our best contracts. Hes been moved to the first line with Bread and PLD on quite a few games now. And hes an RFA, hes not some veteran on an expiring contract. We can keep him for at least a few more years, if his defensive game really keeps improving, he will be a really good player. I know I'm rambling at this point, but you've got to think they keep him just in case panarin leaves to put him on the first line, he looked good his only game playing up there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckYourself</b></div><div>Sure sound like a kid with your classless personal attacks compensating for your inability to express your views with any quality reasoning. You flipped from saying the Hoffman trade is bad for CBJ, for Bob and Bread, to doubting CBJ could even get Hoffman for them. Make up your mind sir. Now your flipping the whole reality of trades thing back on me. Really? The unoriginal nature of your thoughts is revealing kiddo.

Bob has absolutely expressed interest playing in Florida. It comes from multiple inside sources in Columbus (probably leaked by his agent or CBJ administrative staff). Some slight overpay in these trades IS THE POINT to get the players I want for the roster i’d like to see, and to get teams to accept. No one from another team is coming on hear saying hell no or bad deal. I want to make sure these trades are doable to make the roster i want. Hence the name armchair gm

Hoffman can play winger or center. Sam Bennett needs a fresh start and more ice time like Milano does. I see more potential in Bennett than you do. Thats fine, its matter of opinion. Murray will resign, he didn’t want to sell himself short after all those injuries. CGY has more interest in Nutty anyway for playstyle reasons. ”Bjorkstrand is a great player” Will have to strongly disagree there. Carlson is very young of course hes not a stud now. He will be. The more ice time Kukan gets the better he looks. I agree Gavrikov has promise too. All the more reason we can trade a D man even if you don’t agree which one. Maenalenan will bring more of the toughness and grit that i prefer and replace Bjorkstrand withs lots of room to get a lot better at 22 yrs old. I like him and think he’ll be good for us. Hope i’ve explained my thinking well enough for you to understand but we will have to agree to disagree on a few things. Good luck sir</div></div>

Dude, not every young player is going to be a stud. And I like your "slight overpay for players I want" Bjork, Nuty and a 2nd is a stupid over pay for someone like Bennett. Thank God you arent Jarmo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckYourself</b></div><div>Your viewpoint on Bob/Bread situation is just not realistic. They will go to free agency and sign to Florida anyway because thats where they want to go. We don’t get bonus value because they resign with Florida and its a big haul for them. It doesn’t work that way, we have no leverage because we have no control over what Panarin and Bob do and Florida knows this. The choice is, assist in getting Bob and Panarin where they want to go, or get nothing at all. So yeah i’ll take a good veteran center in Hoffman. Sam Bennett was the 4th overall pick in 2014 and is only scratching the surface of what he can do at 22. You can’t wait until he’s a top line center to aquire him when he will cost a fortune at a premium position. At minimum the Flames will want to recover back a 1st round pick they used on Bennett and address a need for them (defense). Bjorkstrand has done little to have any real trade value alone, his production is almost nothing. On the other hand, we will soon have a logjam of good defenders and not enough ice time for them. Carlson and Kukan look like future studs and we’re not taking the cup home this year anyway. So why not prime ourselves for next year, think longterm, and use Nutty as a trade piece. I love Nutty but he is expendable. I’ll let your personal attacks slide because i think your just a kid. At the end of the day just look at the resulting roster and those lineups and tell me you wouldn’t be happy with that after losing Bob and Bread. A young prolific offense, and good young defense with balanced lines.</div></div>

Nah, I'm not a kid. Its very obvious you are a kid or have no idea how hockey trades work. You're showing you really dont know much about what you're talking about.

We know Bjorkstrand is a great player, why sell low? Bjorkstrand for Bennett is a huge maybe. Bennett will never be a #1c unless some god like breakout happens. He wont. Ask Flames fans. Any GM would laugh and hang up if they called asking for a 1st and more for Bennett. I think youre seriously overvaluing him here dude. Hes their Sonny Milano. A second, Bjork and Nuti could land us a player like RNH or another 1c/2c. Dont know why you want to spend all that for a bottom 6 grinder that we already have plenty of. At most, any rational GM would do Stenlund and a third for Bennett.

Also, why Nuti instead of Murray? Murray is injury prone. He also is due a new contract, whereas Nuti has a great contract for a few more years. Also, Kukan and Carlson are not "studs". Kukans ceiling is a bottom pair defensemen and I've been following the monsters closely, Carlsson hasnt been good the last season and a half, and was obviously the worse player on ice for CBJ during the pre season. I like how you're acting like these two will be studs for us, but you're forgetting completely about Gavrikov, who is more likely than either of those to crack our top 6 next year.

And for the Florida thing, why are you calling Hoffman a center? Hes a winger. You act like they have no value because they want to leave. Look what the Rangers got for Nash last year. At minimum, Panarin is getting a first, prospect, and roster player and Bob will get a returning goalie, first and prospect. If we could swing Hoffman, cool, but Florida isnt giving away a Top 6 winger who's performing great for them for two pending UFAs. We would be lucky to get Bjugstad back. Also, you're forgetting that Bob would have to waive his NMC for a team that's ****ting the bed this season. And since you're acting like a know it all, when has Bob expressed interest in Florida? Hes never said that. You commented above "get informed on the situation here in Columbus" when you know the same amount as everyone besides Jarmo, Bob and his agent know.

Also, that Carolina trade is absolute horse****. Why overpay for that guy? Look at the other people commenting. You're not right, at all. We would be the laughing stock of the league if we made all these trades. I dont mean to be a dick, but just by looking through your posts I can tell you dont have a grip on the reality of trading.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckYourself</b></div><div>Where to start, a first rounder, roster player, and prospect for rental Panarin and Bob with his declining play. Your valuations are absolutely not realistic and completely disagree. Believe me i wish we could get a haul like that, the problem is CBJ just has no leverage. A veteran center like Hoffman is a great pickup, hes only 29 and have you seen his numbers this year, wow. Wennberg is simply frustrating to watch. I’ve never seen a center that hates shooting and scoring goals, he is not a good fit for CBJ. Chabot is better defensivly than Werenski and has a toughness i like better. We can afford to let Nutty go with Kukan and Gabriel Carlson, we are loaded with good young defenders going forward. Wtf are you talking about no potential for Dzingel? He has 20 G and 18 assists this season and is only 26 yrs old. He also is coming back to the land of his alma mater Ohio State. Also at the end of the day we have 2 centers in Hoffman and Sam Bennett, thats why we trade Wennberg the turd. Center is a premium position and by comparison swapping draft picks or losing anyone not named seth jones is nothing. Sam needs more ice time and is stuck on a CGY team with a lot of good forwards and center depth. (He is not a bust) He will be equal to or greater than Wennberg simply with more ice time, and definitely a better scorer. Milano and Sedlak have little trade value but need a career reboot somwhere they can get more ice time. Abramov is a lightweight and Texier and Foudy will be better anyway. In return we get a promising 6’4” RW in the mold of Josh Anderson to replace Bjorkstrand. Next time think deeper about these trades and look at what those new lineups look like. That roster is scary. Your assumptions on players and value are not well informed or correct to me. You do not take into account player fit, depth of position on other rosters, or team needs vs strengths. Again these are trades that “I want to see happen”.</div></div>




Dude you're acting like such a know-it-all but just accept that these trades arent good. The Florida one isnt awful but a first for each of those guys has to be a priority. If were trading them to FLA then we can assume they're re signing, then the haul has to be bigger than Hoffman. The OTT one is pretty silly, but that calgary one is straight awful. That'd be one of the worst trades in hockey. Nuti has double the value of Bennett and Bjorkstrand has more. Even a one for one for either of those guys is bad. Plus a second? Yikes. Jarmo would be the new Chiarelli

Thread: Duchene if Ottawa want to trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skillet0515</b></div><div>I like the Columbus, but idk if Columbus gives up a third round pick maybe more of a 5th-6th round pick and I don't see Pittsburgh being a major player for Duchene if he is available. Even though Pittsburgh has the cap to trade for him cuz of Schultz's injury and that cap relief, I can't see Pittsburgh paying that big of a price for a player they won't resign</div></div>

The columbus one is bad. Bjorkstrand is a great young player. Hes struggled a bit this year but hes still doing good when you consider hes been scratched, bumped to 4th line and given different lines constantly. Hes still great, the problem is we have so much depth that him, Duclair, and Dubinsky are the odd men out.

Our org is way too high on bjorkstrand, he isnt going away for a rental. Our deal to pburgh would probably be something like Stenlund, Sedlak, prospect and 2019 third
